After a busy summer the Fort 91原创 Night Market is hosting it鈥檚 final event Friday.

This year was the inaugural year of the local market located on 9166 Glover Rd.

The market is hosted by the Eric Woodward Foundation and the foundation鈥檚 Fort 91原创 Projects, a non-profit organization that uses donations to support Fort 91原创鈥檚 improvements and charitable causes.

The night market was a great outdoor event for the whole community, said Eric Woodward, foundation namesake and Township of 91原创 councillor.

Woodward explained the event was very popular in the community.

鈥淚t鈥檚 tough to know the total number of people that came, as people come and go, but any given time, there鈥檚 definitely been a sizable number of people on the site and that鈥檚 been great to see,鈥� he said.

With the success of the night market, Woodward and Fort 91原创 Project may plan more events in the next few weeks.

鈥淔or right now, we鈥檙e going to get through the market and we鈥檒l decide if we鈥檙e going to do anything with the remainder of the calendar year, probably within the next few weeks,鈥� Woodward said.

With the uncertainty of the pandemic, a decision has not yet been made about the night market returning next year, Woodward added.

Profit made from the night market goes back into Fort 91原创 Projects to continue the improvement of the fort.
